How TO RAISE IRISH POTATOEs.-A
writer in the Home and Farm gives the fol-
lowing directions for successfully raising
Irish potatoes: "Take plat of land that is
not too thirsty nor too low; haul on we'll
rotted stable manure; if it should be COM
posted with cotton seed, until the seed is
we'll rotted, so much the better; scatter the
manure broadcast an inch thick over the
land; be sure to make the bed rich break
the land up we'll, turning the manure we'll
under. Then sow some good fertilizer that
contains a good deal of potash. Be sure
and have it all over the land, so as to make
the ground very rich, or this plan won't do.
Mark off the rows twelve inches apart and
three inches deep; drop the potatoes one
foot apart in rows and cover them with the
loose dirt that was dug out; let them be COW
cred about two inches deep, leaving the
ground level. When the potatoes begin to
come up we'll haul in pine straw, cane fod-
der or leaves willansWer, and cover the bed
and potatoes one foot deep with the straw !;
do this just after rain, while the ground is
wet, and by putting straw from twelve to
fifteen inches thick the ground won't get
dry, but will retain its moisture during a
drought and the potatoes keep green and
grow in our dryest weather in the spring.
When some of the potatoes get large enough
to use, remove the straw down to the roots
and take out the largest ones and let the
small ones remain. If the vines are not in
jured they will grow until every potato will
be large enough to use. The potatoes grow
just in the top of the ground and are very
easily gathered"

How TO KEEP THE CARRIAGE New
The preservation of a carriage depends
largely upon the way in which it is housed.
The barn or shed should be airy and dry,
with moderate admission of light, other
wise the colors of painting and lining will
be affected. Do not let the vehicle be rolled
near brick wall, as the dampness of the
wall will fade the colors and destroy the
varnish. The coach-hOuse should not be
connected with the stable or next the ma
nure pit, since the ammonia fumes rising
from the manure will do more to crack and
ruin varnish, and ruin colors of paint and
lining, than all other causes put together.
DO not allow mud to dry on newly var
nished carriage; spots and stains will he the
result if you do. Do not permit water to
dry of itself on varnished surface, but re-
move all moisture with a chamois leather
only, after the soft sponge has been used.
DO not let the leather top carriages lie long
unused with the tops down, but raise orra-
sionally, taking off the strain on the leather
and net-stay by slightly easing the joints.
Keep the moths out of cushions and Innings
by frequent brushing. Examine the aXles
often keep we'll oiled and see that the wash
ers are in goc1 order.

ELASTIC GUN WADDING.
THE undersigned begs leave to call a

VNHE undersigned begs leave to call attention
to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN
WADDING, the only perfectly safe wadding for
choke-bore breech-loading shot guns. BY the
use of this wad the reco ofa gun is lessened, the
distribution Of the shot is more regular, and the
range and penetration are greater. Another ad-
vantage is that the gun is kept cleaner than
when any other wad is used. Try them. They
are put up in boxes holding 25G wads and are
made in two grades. The price for the first grade
is forty cents per box the second grade twenty
five cents. The first grade should be used over
the powder-the second grade over the shot.
The first grade wads are from one half to three
eights of an inch in thickness, which makes them
cheaper than any other wad in the market, as
only one of the first grade wads is necessary on
the powder, and one, of the second grade over
the shot, to give the best results. If you use a
II gauge gun with brass shells, buy No. wads
For PAPER shells use No. III wads. For guns or
different gauge for brass shells, use wad three
sizes larger than the bore; for paper shells, one
size larger. BY this means the gases from the
powder will be perfectly confined and the very
best results obtained.
Sample boxes will be sent by mail on receipt
of fortv cents for the first grade, and twenty-five
cents for the second grade Address,

GEORGE C. JORDAN, General Agent
VINHE immense amount of Life Insurance car
ried in this country makes it Of National
Importance that heGds of families should be able
to secureit as cheaply possible consistent with
safety. Especially is this necessary for the mil
lions of men in moderate circumstances, who
must earn their living by hard knocks and in
the face of competition that is becoming keen
and sharper every day.
If life insurance is not safe it is not worth car
rying, and if it is TOO costly, the men who most
need it cannot carry it all. How to make it both
safe and cheap is the problem of the day, and he
who solves it will have done great and patriot
ic service for his fellow men. The Old Line
Companies certainly safe when honestly
managed, but their rates high, that only
the rich can afford to carry such an amount as
would provide for a family, while the great mass
of men, and those, too, whose families most need
protection, are compelled to go without insur-
ance, or seek it in the assessment companies or
secret orders. The fact that these cheaper insti-
tutions are to-day furnishing more insurance
than all the Old Line companies combined, shows
how eager are the mass Of citizens for insurance
that is within reach Of their means While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insurance
cheap enough, yet, at best, they can only be
looked upon as temporary eXpedients and not al
together satisfactory. Butt is plain, that some
where between the old line and assessment plans
there must be middle ground which is not
only safe. but just and tar to all parties.
THE EINTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION
of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly and hon
esty to find this middle ground. In this search
they have, at large expense, consulted and en-
ployed the foremost actuaries and insurance ex-
perts in this country, and upon their recommen-
dation have adopted a line Of rates which is en-
tirely safe. and yet, is in the reach Of every
| thrifty and industrious man who desires to pro-
tect his family against his death.
To ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line COM
panies an ample reserve. and then reasonable
amount for expenses and profits. but so limited
as to compel economical management. Soplain
and fair and popular are its methods that over
three millions of business was done in the first
eight months work. Its rates are fixed, and
must be paid deaths or no deaths, but are divided
into two, four, or six payments year, as may
best suit the convenience Of the applicant

KNOWING How TO CARE FOR SHEEP
Many farmer has bought him a flock with
out having had any experience in raising or
feeding sheep and failing to inform himself
of what care and food they should have, the
experiment very naturally proved failure.
He has invested his money, given out a
good deal of feed, spent considerable time
with the sheep, and finally disposed of what
were left at a loss, disgusted with his expe-
rience. Now, sheep are easily raised by
any one who knows what they need, and
this can be easily learned, too. Although
sheep will consume great deal of the waste
forage on farm, damaged hay, etc., still it
does not follow that they should have moth
ing else. They may get bare subsistence
when confined to what they can pick up
here and there on the farm, and the susie
nance afforded by diet of spoiled hay may
keep them alive, but it will soon be found
that no profit comes from such treatment.
Sheep should have rations of good food in
addition to what they may gather, in order
to have them thrive and gain in flesh. Un-
less they do this their keeping is a loss, for
there is no return for the food consumed.
The most successful stock raisers are those
who study the value offoods and their COM
biuations, for skillful feeding is at the bot
tom of all profitable stock raising. There
are diseases, too, that sheep are liable to
suffer from unless care is taken to keep them
in healthy state. No one should attempt
to raise sheep without first learning either
by study or experience under some one
thoroughly posted, how they should be cared
for. To those who understand the business,
sheep raising brings good returns.-Ndttondl
